Any complaints about "why don't pokemon ever eat/go to the toilet/whatever" are dumb automatically, since it can applied to any game ever that lack the mechanics. The REAL answer is "because it wouldn't be fun"
Imagine having to feed your current party every half hour or else they get weak or something. You'd just want to turn that off straight away.

Well, you have to feed your pets in World of Warcraft occasionally.
And in dark cloud you had to give your party members water unless you wanted to run in slow-motion.
But really, food usually is healing items in RPGs, in pokemon's case; berries are the healing items. And i doubt the predator lives merely on berries.
But I have to agree, seeing the main character take a dump wouldn't be too exciting. But eating should be pretty natural. Now - pokemon isn't the most flexible RPG out there seeing as the story barely affects the gameplay.
But in games like Grandia II had the dinners when you stayed at inns to continue with the story though.
But we know that the hero and pokemons eat just like we all know that Aragon had to take a piss sometime during the events of Lord of the Rings.

How about we consider that pokemon eat/****/piss when you turn the game off. You know, they like their privacy. Can you blame 'em?

Or that everything is time elapsed, and for our sake, the necessities of life are ignored? Perhaps those Pokéballs have the amenities that all your Charizards have become so fond of.

I remember the anime saying that the pokeball has an environment adapted to the Pokemon's needs or something, which may include food and possibly do their buissinness in the Pokeball.

Pokeball part added. I still haven't figured that one out though.

Pokemon, a world of logic. Also, I see that Razor is no fan of The Sims, as feeding bores him.

I'm just saying feeding does not belong in every game ever. Obviously The Sims is a different story, what being a simulation game with simulated people.

Ur mom takes care of them.

They also heal at your house in Red, Blue and Yellow. I think she sucks them till they feel relaxed.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that pokemons are healed in a machine at the poké centers.
The woman in the counter takes your balls and put them in that machine.
it blinks and shakes a little and then all the pokés in your balls are restored completely.
And that further proves my digital-storage theory.

lol u failed to mention Prpl_Mage in ur breeding section that almost ANY pokemon can breed with a Ditto.
Also what about those coincidental moments when one of ash's mates who he left behind. They piss me off.
And has any one noticed his ballas have dropped in diamond and pearl cartoon he sounds like a Git.

First, I did mention the ditto. But as the pokedex states: It can turn into whatever it wants, a horse, a copy of the pokemon, a baseball bat(very useful), a bottle of ink anything. And that could include a male or female mating organ as well.
Second, I don't watch the cartoon. Never liked it. The game was always more appealing.
Thirdly, Yeah, I guess so. That usually happens when someone goes into puberty.
